Transform Your Business with Connect, Serve, and Ask™
At H7 Network, we embrace a powerful philosophy called “Connect, Serve, and Ask™.” This method isn’t just about having a professional one-on-one meeting; it’s a way of life ingrained in our entire culture. Whether two members meet individually or the whole community gathers, we prioritize connecting, serving, and asking. Here’s how you can implement these principles to boost your business.
Connect: Laying the Groundwork
The first step is to connect genuinely. This goes beyond a mere introduction. It’s about forming a real connection that can evolve into a trusted relationship.
- Be Authentic: Show genuine interest in the other person by asking questions about their needs and challenges.
- Find Common Ground: Identify shared interests to build rapport.
- Listen Actively: Make the other person feel heard and valued through active listening.
Serve: Adding Value
After connecting, the next step is to serve. Serving means offering value without expecting anything in return, which is crucial for building trust.
- Offer Support: Provide assistance or solutions proactively.
- Share Knowledge: Freely share your expertise and insights to make you a valuable resource.
- Follow Through: Build reliability by keeping your promises.
Ask: Strengthening Mutual Support
Once credibility has been established, it’s essential to ask for support and collaboration. This step helps strengthen the relationship.
- Be Specific: Clearly articulate your needs when seeking help.
- Show Appreciation: Express gratitude for the assistance you receive.
- Create Win-Win Scenarios: Frame your request in a way that highlights mutual benefits.
Building Trusted Relationships
Traditionally, trusted relationships progress from “like, know, to trust.” However, Connect, Serve, and Ask™ focuses on establishing trust immediately. As you earn trust, “like and know” naturally follow.
In the H7 Community, one critical success metric is establishing 5 Champion Relationships (or Trusted Relationships) during your first year. Achieving this greatly enhances your chances of success in word-of-mouth marketing.
Conclusion
Implementing Connect, Serve, and Ask™ can transform your business by fostering Champions (or Trusted-Relationships). By connecting authentically, serving selflessly, and asking purposefully, you can create a network that drives growth and success. Embrace this philosophy today and watch your business thrive with H7 Network’s trusted approach.
